Comment:

 Replying to [comment:10 ma1]:
 > Just released [https://noscript.net/getit#devel rc2], which should
 partially fix this: preference overrides by Tor Browser (or any .js file
 in $PROFD/preferences/, for the matter) are honored now, per !comment:4.

 Okay, I followed my steps in a clean, new Firefox 52 ESR (just using
 5.1.2rc1 and updating it to 5.1.2rc2). It seems the preferences are indeed
 honored, thanks. But there are still concerning things in the browser
 console visible:
 {{{
 No chrome package registered for chrome://noscript/locale/about.properties
 TypeError: ABE is undefined  ABE.js:1198:21
 TypeError: WAN is undefined  ABE.js:1186:23
 TypeError: ABE is undefined  ABE.js:1198:21
 TypeError: WAN is undefined  ABE.js:1186:23
 TypeError: Ci is undefined  Main.js:138:1
 TypeError: Date is undefined  ClearClickHandler.js:318:9
 }}}
 Those errors go away after a restart of the browser, though. If you look
 at the prefs file in comment:4 there are no special Tor Browser related
 ones in it. It's just NoScript configuration (disabling ABE etc.).
